While addressing residents in the villages of Obwakol, Amurojo, Abuket, Akuja, and Olep, MP Omoding responded to pressing concerns raised by local leaders regarding the lack of access to clean and safe water.
The communities collectively appealed for the drilling of new boreholes and the repair of broken ones with additi of pipes a problem that has persisted for years and severely affected daily life.
Omoding assured the locals that their concerns would be prioritized.
“Every request related to water in Kyere Sub-county will be addressed. Clean water is a right not a privilege,” he declared, receiving applause from hundreds of residents in attendance.

“I believe in a simple manifesto, serving the people of Serere,” he stated.

Omoding promised to bring in tractors to open and maintain these critical roadways which are vital for transportation and access to markets and essential services.
Residents expressed appreciation for the MP’s visit and his responsiveness to their concerns.
Local council three Kyere subcouty, James Aenu remarked, “This is the first time we feel heard. If he fulfills even half of these promises, our lives will greatly improve.”
As the NRM primaries approach, Omoding’s direct engagement with the people and focus on service delivery appear to be strengthening his campaign.
